“…The fmdings in this Filipino-Canadian intermarriage about the Filipino cultural practices/patterns brought into the marriage are somewhat similar to some of the findings by Hunt and Coller (1957) and Cahill (1990). Both studies in 1957 and 1990 mentioned the cultural contrast in the management of family finances, child rearing, and family relations.…”

“…This study, however, was conducted in 1938 on Filipino husbands who had interracial marriages and would probably not be applicable in today' s situations. Hunt and Coller ( 1957) interviewed 20 American military personnel married to Filipino women. They found a fairly sharp cultural contrast in the management of family finances, concepts of modesty and proper sex behaviour, interaction with relatives, childcare, housekeeping standards, diet, language usage, recreational practices, and religion.…”

This research project is a qualitative case study of 10 intermarried Filipino immigrant women. The women were asked specific questions about the Filipino cultural practices/patterns that were brought into the marriage, how they resolve the differences, the qualities of a Filipino woman that help resolve differences, and the attitudes they have on intermarriage, through a face-to-face interview. A demographic information sheet was also used to gather information about themselves and their husbands, and a rating scale about the presumed advantages and disadvantages was administered to validate the information obtained in the interview. Results showed Filipino cultural practices and differences are not a barrier to a stable relationship. The women participants admitted that they probably exerted more effort than those who have intramarriages. They have learned to compromise for the betterment of the relationship because they see marriage as a lifetime partnership. The women mentioned the virtues of "pakikisama/pakikibagay",

“…(2) Persons who have experienced disorganized and stressful parental families are more likely to marry members of other races than those who were raised in cohesive and stable families (Hunt and Collier, 1957;Lynn, 1953: Schnepp andYui, 1955;Strauss, 1954).…”

Interracial marriages have garnered attention periodically since the turn of the century. However, sociopsychological research in the area of intermarriage continues to be scant in spite of increased contact between the races in the 1960s. Social scientists have maintained the study of intermarriage may provide a precise, quantitative measurement of crucial and related questions such as the process of assimilation, the degree of internal cohesion in individual racial, religious, and ethnic groups, and the extent of social distance between groups of these types (Barron, 1946: 249).Little has been done, however, in the areas which promise so much in understanding social processes. What research that has been done has focused on: the incidence of interracial marriages; causal factors; sociopsychological characteristics ; and, the problems encountered by the marriage partners and their children. This paper will summarize the small amount of research which has been done on interracial marriages in the areas mentioned in an attempt to update the body of information. It will also provide directives for future research which should lead to a better understanding of black-white marriages and their implications for black people and the larger society.
